Danny Hajjar is a writer and media relations pro in Washington D.C. who we first met thru FrieMMd of the Pod and musician Soof. Danny’s a fellow music-lover, passionate about about hip hop artists in the Middle East and North Africa and tracking the growth of their music beyond the region. 

Danny actually curates music and stories in his weekly newsletter, “Sa’alouni El Nas”—which literally translates to “the people ask me”—which we’d definitely recommend you check out and subscribe to. You’ll enjoy hearing us scratch beneath the surface of this tastemaker—from the Moon Knight to the Backstreet Boys.
